Well made amps don't require biasing very often, and it's a good idea not to go crazy with this simply because frequent biasing will prematurely wear out the pots.

The CJ and Rogue amps I have are basically set it and forget it. I check the bias once every six months or so on the Cronus but with the CJ I haven't had to touch the bias for almost year now. And I am running Winged C Svetlana EL34s in each.
